ok so ak traditional RP English accent is the one you hear in old movies and the way the queen speaks. very posh, very polite, and very sharp. a modern RP English accent is just how you speak in general. for example I'm from the North of England so my accent is quite broad and and I use a few slang words. another example is a Scouse accent which typically goes up in pitch and misses certain letters.
a modern RP is what you'll hear today if you come to England. a traditional RP accent died out in the 1950/60s but you can still hear it in old movies.
